settingcleanupPeriodDays
Choose how many days Claude Code keeps transcripts before deleting them
envCLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC
Set to any non-empty value, such as 1, to disable nonessential network traffic: auto-updates, telemetry, error reporting, the /feedback command, Claude-drafted feedback, release notes, the PR and MR status badge checks, and availability checks such as the fast mode check. It also stops the background runs of plugin command sources, which are local commands rather than network traffic, because they can trigger dependency installs. Setting it to 0 or false still disables this traffic, unlike most on/off variables; unset the variable to allow it again. Also disables feature-flag fetching, which makes Remote Control and the other features that need feature-flag fetching unavailable. Official plugin marketplace auto-install isn't covered; disable it with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_OFFICIAL_MARKETPLACE_AUTOINSTALL. Doesn't affect gateway model discovery, which has its own opt-in
envCLAUDE_CODE_API_KEY_HELPER_TTL_MS
Interval in milliseconds at which credentials should be refreshed (when using apiKeyHelper)
